Thank you Michael, I have been writing privately last few months, I will share again when I feel the energy in the poem is equal to the standard I feel I have achieved here at the soup, if my poem doesn't shake the reader, I won't post it, often my best poems come around 3am from a dream that moves my relationship with the universe, when it strikes again, I'll post, all my best, james

Truth spoken here James. Jesus is always there with open arms to catch us when we fall. Then the Healing and recovery process starts. Great truth written here by you James, thank you for sharing and be blessed for it...

Dear James - Hello - Believe it or not this entry speaks to me because I understood your every word because this has been my life and I know for others as well. Your words are powerful and truthful. Trust me they are. Seasons change and we all wait for the healing but the letting go part is hard for many. Have a wonderful day. Keep enjoying poetrysoup.
